What's in a name? There's a reason there are more than 33,000 results for baby naming books available on Amazon. Your name helps define you. It's how you are first introduced to the world. Parents labor and strategize over those monikers for a reason. The same thought goes into picking a brand or company name. How does it sound? Does it make sense? Will it catch on? Is it unique? Will my customers get it? You want to get it right. Many companies will employ a brand strategist to help guide this decision. Some choose a name based on more intuitive and practical measures. While for others the name has a more personal and intimate origin.
